Oh, yes, this is indeed mortifying...
Thank goodness I decided not to immediately buy X/Y... I wonder if this saved-data glitch patch will be implemented within future copies of the titles? |

Wow, I'm glad I didn't decide to preorder the game, especially when if there's one bug, there are often others.

Never even noticed it. Saved on the South Boulevard many times on my way back from the clothing and grooming shops.

I'm glad I learned of the glitch early on so I didn't brick my game.

In actuality, most of the Pokemon games tend to have other game-breaking glitches early on, all of which are fixed for the future cartridges they sell (and the international releases that everyone here are familiar with). B2W2 in early Japanese releases, at least, has a glitch where, if you save/turn off the power/exit victory road when you meet and follow the Zoroark post-game BEFORE making it to the castle with N, the Zoroark will return to its original spot and never move again, making the castle impossible to reach and N's legendary Dragon impossible to encounter. So if they at least follow their typical tradition, future games WILL be patched AND current games can get the patch implemented. It's just that this was an international release, so people are freaking out here for once, whereas these kinds of things only were avoided beforehand because they had time to fix them.
Nothing else reported yet. The games are FAR better made than usual. It's just... this bug is also a big one that can make it impossible to play the game again. That said, a few people have spent a ton of time actually experimenting with the dangerous glitch and they've found that there are simple ways to get the game to play properly again without losing the data, including soft-resetting a bajillion times, pressing the home button a bajillion times, and so on (there are videos online and a friend of mine who came across the glitch tried the soft-resetting and it worked). It's mostly random and they can't figure out what causes it, though people are suggesting it's the taxi cabs, as the places people are most likely affected in are near the cabs and their stops.
I believe the general consensus is that the glitch starts upon turning the game off after saving in those districts, and/or when the game is loaded in the districts. So saving by itself doesn't screw the game up. They'll have the fix up in a few days, like they usually do. For those who don't want to download the patch from the online shop and would rather buy an already patched copy, they usually make an update on the Nintendo site (not the Pokemon site) about when they start replacing the in-store copies with the fixed versions. It usually doesn't take more than a week in Japan, but I don't know how this will work on an international level. |

Ugh, this will be a problem for me because my home wi fi doesn't let me connect to the eShop. I never visited the eShop once in these years owning a 3DS. ugh....

This is slightly incorrect. It is not an "application", but rather, a save data update patch. |

I saved in a cafe after trying and failing to sit at one of the tables lining the street so I could saved only to find out almost immediately after that saving outside in the city is a big no-no. Thank goodness for that. I feel bad though for the good number of people who didn't know about it or find out about in time and lost hours of playtime. |

I've been lucky, I had hours of saved data before I discovered online about this glitch, I feel bad for people who discovered the hard way.
